Try it without the compression option. I'm not sure how GNU tar on your system handles compression under the hood, but I think some older versions just create a temp tar file and then compresses that. Perhaps the uncompressed temp file filled up the disk then was deleted upon failure.
What version of tar are you using and what options are you passing to tar when your script invokes it? Are you using a 32-bit version of tar or a 64-bit version? Output of file utility will tell you that information.
